Activities of the Police of the Czech Republic during Demonstrations

The general public is interested in actions of the Police of the Czech Republic during demonstrations fuelled by the political situation and the rise of various extremist movements. Demonstrations are always covered by the media and people often express their opinion about the operation of specialized units of the Czech Police. Due to the non-ending discussions, I consider this theme to be interesting and topical for its processing in this bachelor thesis. The thesis defines the basic concepts, the specifics of the Police of the Czech Republic, i.e. its tasks, obligations and authorizations to intervene, use coercive means, procedures and tactics to control riots. Furthermore, the work outlines individual units of the Czech Police intervening during the demonstration,s such as the anti-conflict team, the specialized unit for riot control and the unit for reinstatement of order. Last but not least, the thesis focuses on the demonstration participants who profess some kind of political belief. As an example and a fact of interest, the deployment of the riot control unit of the South Bohemian Region in period 2010 1st half of 2016 is described, which proves that the need for this riot control unit is increasing steadily. The information contained in the thesis can be beneficial not only for students, but also for the general public
